Water, Had a phone consult with Vernetta. She said to remember that your H is also full of grief, loss, guilt and is stretched out and very vulnerable. He may be rationalizing in his mind that their MUST be someone else... you did a great job of affirming your love for him without being too obvious. I am glad you stuck with the 27th... that way it can be more of a date and he can anticipate you coming (and get happy and excited!!) Slow and steady!
Relax. Appreciate. Be calm. Laugh. Enjoy. Be secure. Be loving. Be loved. Don't personalize. Don't ASSume. Accept. Be grateful.
